Philanthropy

Hughes created and funds the Parker Hughes Cancer Center in Minnesota that undertakes the research to develop drugs and treatment for children's leukemia and cancer.

The Parker Hughes Cancer Center declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January, 2007. It has apparently been plagued by mismanagement for several years. The founder, Fatih Uckun, lost his license to practice medicine in Minnesota in January, 2006.
